Forschungsthema:
»Artificial intelligence as a challenge for Criminal Law: in search of a new model of criminal liability?«

Projektbeschreibung:
The research project is trying to answer the question whether we need a new model for ascribing criminal liability in cases of causing harm with the use of AI systems. After delving into the current scope and the significance of the use of artificial intelligence as a challenge for law in general, the research tries in an initial approach to shed light on the emerging concerns and their significance for criminal law and especially to discuss the question of ascribing criminal liability for harm caused by the use of AI systems in the framework of the existing law. On this basis it discusses a wide range of crucial questions of the theoretical framework for ascribing criminal liability and at the end it focuses to answer the question whether alternative schemes of attributing criminal responsibility to an e-person or e-personality is compatible with the European legal civilization.
